== Molly Moccasins ==

 

'''Molly Moccasins''' is a children’s book series written by Victoria Ryan O’Toole. The series has been developed through Urban Fox Studios and is available on digital platforms including an advertising-free website and in print.  

==  Plot Introduction  ==


Molly Moccasins is a bright, imaginative, and curious character who delights in all that life has to offer. She has a spirited imagination, slightly sophisticated vocabulary, and a positive perspective that are displayed in the adventures she experiences with her family, friends, and all the new people (and creatures) she encounters in her everyday life.<sup>1</sup>  

'''''Molly and Her Moccasins'':''' '''ISBN:''' 978-0-9828261-3-3

In her first book, ''Molly and Her Moccasins'', Molly receives a pair of moccasins that make her toes tingle from her Uncle Marcus, who is an investigative journalist. Uncle Marcus tells Molly that he gave her the moccasins to remind her of two simple yet important things: First, life’s an everyday adventure. Second, a curious mind is never bored.<sup>2</sup>  

'''Molly’s Adventures'''
In each of the nearly 70 books, Molly’s toe-tingling moccasins lead her toward a problem or mystery to solve. As she makes her way through backyards, museums, farms, libraries, forests, and more, Molly finds the answers to her questions and gleans a little wisdom along the way.<sup>3</sup>    

==  Victoria Ryan O’Toole  ==


Victoria Ryan O’Toole has written, published, and narrated nearly 70 Molly Moccasins stories and enhanced-media books, which have sold in almost 100 countries in less than a year.<sup>4</sup>  The series was inspired by O’Toole’s own uncle, who gave her a dictionary inscribed, “A curious mind is never bored.” O’Toole says that once she read that line she knew life would never be boring—and it never has been.<sup>5</sup> 

O’Toole created Molly Moccasins in hopes of supporting early learning and literacy development and connecting young readers to the world of fun available to them in their everyday lives.<sup>6</sup>
